A definitional element of extremism is that harming an out-group is inseparable from the success or survival of the in-group. For extremists, such harm becomes an intrinsic need. They come to believe that denying them the right to harm out-groups is the same thing as denying them the right to exist.

The right, along the Roberts Court, is trying to nullify the Reconstruction amendments guaranteeing equality under the law, in order to restore the Antebellum Constitution, which envisions “liberty” as an eternal aristocracy of race and class (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
When the 18th-century writer Samuel Johnson asked why “we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers of negroes,” he was identifying no mere contradiction, but liberty as it was imagined by men who owned other human beings as property. Slaveholders such as John Calhoun saw slavery as inseparable from their own freedom, and they worried that the false doctrine of abolitionism would eliminate that freedom away. “Already it has taken possession of the pulpit, of the schools, and, to a considerable extent, of the press; those great instruments by which the mind of the rising generation will be formed,” Calhoun said. (It seems the “woke mind virus” was telling lies about the great and benevolent institution of American slavery as far back as two centuries ago.) Defending slavery, however, required invasive uses of power, such as banning antislavery literature and returning escaped Black people to bondage. Many white Americans in the 19th century began to understand that the “Slave Power” curtailed their freedoms as well. And this is what many people forget: Systems of domination rarely spread their blessings widely. The Redemption-era revocation of Black freedoms didn’t result in prosperity for white people writ large, but a Gilded Age in which the upper classes gained unfathomable wealth and economic crises left millions destitute. The nation may have held on to white supremacy, but it also got low wages, a threadbare welfare state, and a society dominated by the rich. Everyone else was too divided by race and class to challenge them.

This is troubling news for many different reasons. If rigorously researched information based on evidence is banned, it sends a message that someone wants to hide information, facts.

That we need the files of a dead man to corroborate the reported trauma of over a thousand women - and that even those files need to be cartoonishly redacted - pretty much says everything about whose experience is considered real.

I just spent six years writing a book. I learned how to use archives, how to handle secondary sources, how to structure a 140k-word argument. I fell so hard in love I went back to school for a PhD. Now people ask how I use LLMs to write or summarize and I can only think “You don’t value what I do.”

Nearly 2 years ago, then- Pres Biden gave a speech about threats to our democracy. NBC, ABC & CBS refused to carry the speech, sticking with prime time shows instead. Trump's giving a campaign stye speech tonight & guess what? It'll be on all 3 networks. What an Incredible double standard. 1/
Trump plans prime time address "ABC News, CBS News, NBC News all plan to carry Trump's abruptly announced prime time Oval Office address on Wednesday evening, where the president plans to tout his supposed accomplishments," Oliver Darcy reported for Status last night. CNN and other cable news networks will carry it as well. The speech is slated for 9 p.m. ET, and the fact-checking afterward (or lack thereof) will be worth analyzing...

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

Also, I don’t know anyone who supports camera enforcement who doesn’t also want to change road layout. It’s a both/and situation.

We’re getting a raised crosswalk on my block. I’d still like drivers to stop running the red light a block away!

Honestly, have people who say this sort of thing never been to Europe or East Asia? (The countries eating our lunch on reducing traffic violence.) Yes, they've made a bunch of design changes to reduce speeds, and have much better transit. But they also have speed and red light cameras everywhere.

All the evidence suggests that safety cameras work incredibly well, but keep shilling for reckless drivers pissed about a $50 ticket over the corpses of dead children.

This is from a Republican senator. He doesn't attack extremists or terrorists, nope, he attacks 1.7 billion people.

Meanwhile, he still supports Trump and makes excuses for the Jan 6 violent insurrection.

Hateful, hypocritical, and stupid.

Of 111 people infected, 105 were unvaccinated.

Public health experts and pediatricians overwhelmingly agree: the measles vaccine is safe, effective, and essential to preventing outbreaks—despite what Trump and Secretary Kennedy claim.

Get vaccinated.

Travelers visiting the United States from countries like Britain, France, Germany and South Korea could soon have to undergo a review of up to five years of their social media history, according to a proposal filed on Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The change would affect visitors eligible for the visa waiver program, which allows people from 42 countries to travel to the United States for up to 90 days without a visa as long as they first obtain electronic travel authorization. In a document filed on Tuesday in the Federal Register, C.B.P. said it plans to ask applicants for a long list of personal data including social media, email addresses from the last decade, and the names, birth dates, places of residence and birthplaces of parents, spouses, siblings and children. Under the current system, applicants from visa waiver countries must enroll in the Electronic System for Travel Authorization program. They pay $40 and submit an email address, home address, phone number and emergency contact information. The authorization is good for two years.
